The infamous New York mobster from his beginnings as the leader of a crew to the heights of leading the Gambino crime family - to his eventual fall and imprisonment. Gotti is a good earner and is very close to Neil Dellacroce, the number two man in the family. When Carlo Gambino dies however, his decision to make Paul Castellano the head of the family doesn't sit well with Gotti and others. They all put up with it for several years but eventually, Gotti gets fed up with Castellano and has him killed, making himself head of the family in the process. Gotti was the subject of several Federal investigations but always managed to be found not guilty, earning the sobriquet The Teflon Don. Determined to get a conviction, the FBI finally manage to get him on tape not only admitting to crimes, but speculating on how he might have to do something about his right-hand man, Dammy "The Bull" Gravano. When presented with the information, Gravano makes a deal with the prosecutors and testifies against his one-time friend who is sentenced to life in prison without parole. "Gotti: The Rise and Fall of a Real Life Mafia Don" is a exceptional movie from the start to the very end. Armand Assante`s performance is so chilling as the dapper don,and it brings so much intensity leaving the audience compelled by this larger than life charismatic figure of the underworld. A gripping insight of the rise and fall of the "Dapper Don". I recommend you see this movie.Read full review
This film is the true story of a Mob Boss named John Gotti aka the "Teflon Don" boss of the infamous Gambino Mafia Family. After having his former boss Paul Castellano killed, Gotti takes over the family with the help of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano who becomes his underboss. To the people of New York this man is a saint, but to the FBI this man is Public Enemy #1. Gotti becomes the star in the FBI's Organized Crime Investigation. He is tailed, photographed, and eventually tape recorded by some well placed bugs. Nobody ever thought that Gotti's reign would ever come to an end, but with the help of some good lawyers, the FBI, and none other then Gotti's right hand man Sammy they brought the Dapper Don down !! This is definitely a must see gangster movie with Armand Assante as John Gotti, William Forsythe as Sammy Gravano, and Anthony Quinn as Neil Delacroce to name a few. Great acting with a great script !! Check it out for yourself !! You can buy this DVD version on eBay now !!Read full review
Asante won an award for his portrayal yet the critics panned the movie. Having been around during the Gotti era it was hard not to know of him. He was on the news often and was a well loved, larger than life character. Asante delivers here. The filmmakers might’ve taken a few small liberties but all in all it paints a pretty good picture. It’s one of my top 5 mob films of all times.
